Born: Illinois, 1857.
Died:
Mr. Moore was born three miles west of Clinton, among the blackjack and sassafras trees. He is still considered to be a young man. When he was twenty-eight years of age his education had neither limit nor boundary line. Then he left the jeweler's bench and spent four months in Eureka College. That he might continue his work there, he asked a loan of a small sum from a rich man, who refused and severely criticized him for having left a good business and wasting his time in college.
The most of his ministerial work has been done in Missouri and Kansas, as pastor, evangelist and Bible-school evangelist. His ability as an artist and an engraver has greatly helped in his blackboard and chart work. In late years he has served the Abingdon Church with efficiency. Mr. Moore has never found time to waste with the higher critic and has never overtaxed his mind in trying to find out whether Moses wrote the Pentateuch with a goose-quill pen or not. He has never had any more sense than to believe that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, and has baptized multitudes. He hopes to preach until he is ninety, and then move out on a little garden-farm.
